Just looking for a ball park ��� on the sort of cost it would be to have an average brick ex with tile roof windows all round & door. the same shape of an average hexagon conservatory. Or if anyones had any such work recently. Using average materials & notthing flashy. TIA
You cannot put a tiled roof on and call it a conservatory. Fact. The definition of a conservatory is that it has a translucent roof

Do builders make up the price ...when they take a look at the house/area ect. And add a bit more on....Anyway its not a big issue ...I will just have to annoy some builder for quotes....
I would expect in the region of �10 - 15k, depending on the foundations; the existing brickwork and the amount of tying in required.

is that true though Ethel - i ver recently wanted some work done, but all the tradespeople are busy round my way cause people dont want to move s instead they extend
